Fight Club Pub.

Excluding both the opening and closing statements, only two images and no more than 5 references can be included for each post. Each individual
post may contain up to 10 sentences of external source material, totaled from all external sources.

And what was the problem again. You youngsters need to slow down and read.

I think the main question is, what counts as a reference? I always assumed that the images counted, but apparently they don't.

And pdf's of two different chapters of one book are apparently two resources even if they're found on one web page. But I assume that if I actually
owned the book and referenced that instead, the two chapters would count as one resource.

How about one online article that covers 5 pages? Five separate references if you use one sentence from each page?

The "ten sentences" part is the only thing that's clear to me. That's "ten sentences" total of quoted external material per
post.

Quotes from your opponents' post don't count against that limit. And references that you don't actually quote from don't count against that limit.
And pictures don't count against that limit. Ten sentences the way that your fifth-grade teacher would count sentences, is how I usually think of
it.

It's what constitutes a separate source that's getting me.

edit to add that quotes from an opponent's source that he/she had not used would count against the 10 sentences I think. But wouldn't count
against the 5 references, maybe

I would think that the 10 sentences were the total amount of external material (not your own words) that you could use per post from an external
source.

You can quote your opponent to your heart's content.

And, any link included in your post counts as a reference, whether that be image, web-page (separate links for various pages within the same site if
the URL is different), or video. And, only 5 of those can be used per post.

If the two links are separate pdf's but linked from the same site they should only be one reference. That is spelled out in the rules as well. Did I
miss this discussion? I have been trying to keep up in the pub but I may have missed this.

Links to multiple pages within a single domain count as 1 reference but there is a maximum of 3 individual links per reference, then further
links from that domain count as a new reference.

If they come from the same pdf but linked twice for different chapters, than it is one reference.

How about one online article that covers 5 pages? Five separate references if you use one sentence from each page?

If you linked to each page separately, than it would be three references. One for the first three links then two for the other ones. Why would you
want to do that though? Link it once than state that on page three/five of the article, it also says (use the external quotes for the sentence if you
need to)..... A Free tip for all.

And to answer Frankies question.

You could have ten individual external text boxes, as long as they are one sentence each.

Not quite. Video is a no for this tournament. And three images are allowed in addition to five sources. GAOTU's quote at the top of the
page clearly uses an "and"...
